We use the highest levels of security, with our website protected by Thawte.

Terms and Conditions

1. User Agreement

1.1 By using the Website and the Booking Engine, You are agreeing to the following terms and conditions of use without modification or revision.
1.2 You acknowledge that:-
1.2.1 We are acting as solely as the Vendor’s agent in respect of bookings made by You, and these bookings are made between You and the Vendor;
1.2.2 The terms and conditions on which Guests will a) make their booking and b) stay at or visit the Vendor and/or participate in the tour (as applicable) shall be governed by this User Agreement.
1.3 We may amend, revise or update the terms and conditions of this User Agreement at any time and without prior notice to You and the most up to date version of this User Agreement from time to time will appear on the Website. Therefore, You should carefully review the terms and conditions of this User Agreement each time You use our Website or Booking Engine. If the terms and conditions of this User Agreement are not acceptable to You, You should not use our Website or Booking Engine.

2. Payment and confirmation

2.1 We have two payment models: immediate and deferred, depending on the Vendor. In both cases, Credit/debit card details must be provided in order to make a booking: these details are completely secure. The two models are:

2.1.1: Immediate. Payment is taken at the time of booking and You should receive immediate booking confirmation by email.

2.1.2: Deferred. Payment is deferred until the Vendor has accepted or declined the booking, which is guaranteed to happen within 24 hours (or 72 hours for holiday rentals), but should be much quicker. During this time, and for up to five working days thereafter, You will have limited access to the payment funds, which are ring-fenced in Your account. Deferred payments are only used where the Vendor receives bookings from numerous sources and needs to confirm availability exists in order to avoid double bookings.

2.2 Your confirmation email qualifies as an official receipt and no additional invoice or receipt will be issued to You.

2.3 If you receive an error message during payment, or if no confirmation has been received within 5 minutes, please check your junk mail and internet connection. If You still haven't received the email, please add support@speedybooker.com as a Safe Sender then contact Us about Your booking and before attempting additional bookings.

2.4 If you have paid a deposit and fail to make full payment before departure, We reserve the right, at the Vendor's request, to make a Repeat payment on Your card to cover the outstanding balance owed.

3. Cancellations and amendments

Our accommodation cancellation and amendment terms firstly reflect the cost to Us in administering Your refund, including bank charges. Secondly We have also factored in the costs to the Vendor in terms of reduced probability of the room being filled and any room servicing costs incurred or food purchased in preparation for Guests’ visits. As such, We regret that the less warning You give, the higher the cancellation fee must be. However, because We understand that plans can change unavoidably, You can normally amend the dates of Your stay without penalty (as long as it's the same Vendor, the value of the booking doesn't decrease, and only if availability exists).

3.1 All cancellations and amendments must be confirmed through the "My booking" page of the Website.
3.2 The cut-off time for cancellations is 23.59 GMT on the day before arrival. The cut-off time for amendments may vary between Vendors: please make Your amendment as early as possible to avoid the risk of having passed the cut-off time.
3.3 Cancellation terms: please check the cancellation policy of the Vendor before making your booking. If no cancellation terms are showing, Our standard cancellation terms will apply ("Notice period" relates to the number of days before the night in question; the same terms apply to any extras booked with Your accommodation):

Notice periodYour refund (which will be sent to the card You booked with)
More than two weeks: 100% (minus £10/€10/US$15/C$15/A$15/NZ$20 administration charge)
Two weeks to one week: 75% (minus £10/€10/US$15/C$15/A$15/NZ$20 administration charge)
One week to one day: 50% (minus £10/€10/US$15/C$15/A$15/NZ$20 administration charge)
Day in question (onwards): No refund

3.4 Amendments involving no reduction in the total price of the booking will not incur a penalty, subject to availability. You may be able to make an amendment involving a reduction in the total price of the booking, in which case a fee relating to the difference between the original value and the amended value may apply. However please note that the amendment can only be made at the same property as the original booking, and can only be made where future availability exists: otherwise a cancellation is required.
3.5 Visitor tickets and tours. Cancellations and amendments to visitor ticket and tour bookings involving a reduction in the total price of the booking: please check the cancellation policy of the Vendor before making your booking. If not terms are listed, Our standard terms will apply and a 100% refund will be made to the Booker if the cancellation or amendment is made anytime up until the day of the visit or tour, minus a £2 administration fee. From the day of the visit or tour onwards, no refund will be due.
3.6 Your bank may charge currency conversion or international payment fees. We will not be liable for these fees. Currency conversion rates on Our websites are estimates only.
3.7 The Vendor reserves the right to cancel Your booking: this may be because of a situation beyond their control, insufficient availability, an error with their prices, or a decision that the nature of Your group may not be in keeping with their requirements. In this case, You will receive a full refund for your booking. Any offer to relocate You to different accommodation or travel-related compensation will be at the discretion of the Vendor.

4. Your satisfaction

4.1 Every Vendor will do their best to ensure that Guests’ experiences are as enjoyable as possible. For example in the case of booking accommodation, every effort will be made to locate groups in adjacent rooms (although this may not always be possible). It should be emphasised that some bed and breakfast accommodation may not meet hotel standards by way of comfort or facilities. Facilities for children may be limited and parts of buildings may not be safe for young children. Children remain the responsibility of the parent or guardian at all times.
4.2 The photographs on the Website are only examples, and no guarantee can be made that Guests will be in the same rooms or places as those photographed.
4.3 If Guests have a query or complaint it should, in the first instance, be directed to the Vendor's staff. If they are unable to help, Guests should email us via the Contact Us page on the website. If it is a complaint, the Vendor will be contacted and efforts will be made to correct the problem. In very exceptional circumstances may a refund be made at the discretion of the Vendor, and a £10 administration fee will be retained by Us to reflect the cost to Us in administering Your refund, including bank charges.

5. Towels, Bedding, and Travel Cots

All towels and bed linen are supplied and changed as necessary, unless stated otherwise.

If you are booking at a Vendor that allows young children, all children over 2 years of age must have their own bed. If You have a child aged 2 years or under, they are normally able to sleep in a travel cot which must be provided by You. In this case, firstly You should find a College suitable for young children by entering Your child in the correct age category on the search form. Once You have browsed the rooms and facilities and have decided which Vendor is most suitable, please then make your search again leaving out the baby from the Under 10 category on the search form, book your chosen room(s) and write in the Additional Information section that You are bringing a baby and will provide a travel cot. If there is a problem with having a travel cot the Vendor will contact You.

6. Meals

Breakfast, lunch and dinner (where available) may be served or self-served: see Vendor information for details. Of those Vendors that offer dinner, check the Vendor's information to discover whether Guests will be given a wine list or a menu.

7. Disabled access

If Guests require disabled access You must specify this on the booking form. See the Vendor pages on the Website for information as to whether they have any disabled access. Some Vendors with disabled access may not be able to meet Guests’ needs: in this case You will be informed within 2 Working Days and your Booking Fee will be refunded.

8. Fire Regulations and Health and Safety

8.1 Guests are required to familiarise themselves with, and comply with, all fire regulations, evacuation procedures and health and safety requirements at the property where they are staying or visiting. Each room will contain a Fire Action Notice which should be read and understood immediately on arrival.
8.2 Any malicious activation of, or tampering with, fire alarms will result in a penalty being incurred.

9. Arrival and Departure

Guests should check the Vendor's arrival and departure instructions and timings in the information provided on the Vendor pages. On arrival Guests should report to the reception where they will be given a key and directed to their room(s).

10. Missing items, damage or theft

As the individual making the booking, You are responsible for every person whom You are booking on behalf of. If, at any time during Your stay or visit, or subsequent to departure, there is discovered damage to or theft attributable to You, You will be liable for the costs of repair or replacement. A charge will be made to Your credit/debit card, or if that fails, You will be required to make a payment direct to the Vendor. A receipt will be emailed to You.

If You leave an item in Your room or lose an item elsewhere at the Vendor, please contact the Vendor directly to try to locate it. Please note that, whilst the Vendor should do everything they can to help You, they cannot be held responsible for lost items.

11. Vendor Rules and staff

Please ensure that you have fully read and understood the Vendor's page on our website before making Your booking, as it may contain specific rules and requirements that You need to be aware of, which are deemed a part of these Terms and Conditions.

Guests must adhere to the Vendor's standards concerning use of internet, smoking, noise, and disturbance. As a general rule, unnecessary noise and disturbance is not permitted on Vendor premises between 11pm and 8am, or as otherwise specified in the Vendor's rules and requirements. If in doubt ask a member of staff. In addition to assisting Guests with information, they will also enforce any rules or standards that Guests are breaching or are in danger of breaching. If Vendor rules are broken or the behaviour of Guests is deemed sufficiently unruly, the Vendor retains the right to remove Guests from the premises (in which case no refund will be made) and/or demand a surcharge on the price of Your rooms, which may be charged to Your card by Us. Furthermore, if staying at a University or College, Guests must respect the requirements of students, Tutors and Fellows who live and work on site for peace and quiet.

12. Animals

Except where stated otherwise on the Vendor page on the website, no animals are allowed on Vendor premises with the exception of guide dogs.
